Letter: Trump could learn from Teddy Roosevelt

The headlines in recent days include President Donald Trump's “fire and fury” remark in response to North Korea’s threats.

Tuesday night, I also happened to see an episode on the “Roosevelts,” which featured President Teddy Roosevelt. Besides his many great actions, especially creating our National Park system for future generations to enjoy, he also is known for his famous saying: “Speak softly and carry a big stick.”

This is in sharp contrast to today’s outcry of “fire and fury” – usually utilized by demagogues to rally the masses around the flag.
